Reither has closed his publishing house in the city, because there are more people writing than reading, and retired to a quiet valley at the edge of the Alps. One night he meets Leonie Palm, who has closed her hat shop for lack of faces suited to hats. On the spot, the two get into a car and head south, with no destination, only a direction. After three days they reach the Mediterranean, happiness takes them by surprise, and a girl who never speaks joins them, bringing back old questions of loss and parenthood.
